Outlook Express to Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hi I am helping a friend out. He is going from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003. He and his wife had separate identities in Outlook Express to include, different email accounts/passwords, different address books with groups. How can I set them up in Outlook 2003 so that they have their own separate PST file? I can import their stuff in separate folders within the same PST file but with that then only one of them will be the default account and the other one will have to always switch to their account.

I would like to have it so that they both have their own PST or Outllook accounts so that when the husband opens up his inbox only his stuff is in there and the same for the wife. This way they can each have their own folder structure and such.
Also for the address book - when I exported the address, none of the groups came over. What's up with that

Thanks so much for your help with this

You need to set up a profile for each user and this can done in Control
Panel > Mail > show Profiles > Add. Please note there is no switching of
Profiles within Outlook you need a restart of Outlook. When you are in the
Show Profiles dialogue you should see and option to prompt for Profile that
you will probably want to check. Groups don't come across.
